* [PATCH] configure: Add flags for MinGW32 standalone build @ 2021-01-07 21:38 Joshua Watt 2021-01-08 7:25 ` Thomas Huth 2021-01-12 21:02 ` [PATCH v2] configure: MinGW respect --bindir argument Joshua Watt 0 siblings, 2 replies; 11+ messages in thread From: Joshua Watt @ 2021-01-07 21:38 UTC (permalink / raw) To: qemu-devel; +Cc: Joshua Watt There are two cases that need to be accounted for when compiling QEMU for MinGW32: 1) A standalone distribution, where QEMU is self contained and extracted by the user, such as a user would download from the QEMU website. In this case, all of the QEMU files should be rooted in $prefix to ensure they can be easily packaged together for distribution 2) QEMU integrated into a distribution image/sysroot/SDK and distributed with other programs. In this case, the provided arguments for bindir/datadir/etc. should be respected as they for a Linux build. Add a configure time flags --enable-standalone-mingw and --disable-standalone-mingw that allows the user to control this behavior.

I agree, it was an issue before 5.2 but now we have relocatable installations. So it would be better to remove all the special casing of mingw, except that (for backwards compatibility) on mingw bindir defaults to $prefix instead of $prefix/bin. Then Joshua's usecase is covered simply by --bindir=/mingw/bin. Paolo ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

Removing the special case for MinGW would solve my problem and be fine with me; the thing I don't know is if we need to preserve the backward compatibility of forcing a specific "flat" layout in $prefix when building for MinGW. There are basically 2 options I can see: 1) Add a flag to default MinGW to the "flat" layout, but allow it to be overridden so that it can follow a normal layout (e.g. --bindir, etc. are respected). This what my patch adds 2) Remove the special casing for MinGW entirely. A "flat" layout would still be possible by doing e.g. "--bindir=$prefix --datadir=$prefix ..." manually but it would no longer be the default.

I think it's okay if you remove the special case _almost_ entirely. That is, MinGW would still default to --bindir=$prefix (and that would be the only "flattened" directory), but it would be possible to override it for your use case.

In this case, all the QEMU executable files should be rooted in $prefix to ensure they can be easily found by the user 2) QEMU integrated into a distribution image/sysroot/SDK and distributed with other programs. In this case, the provided arguments for bindir/datadir/etc. should be respected as they for a Linux build. Restructures the MinGW path configuration so that all of the paths except bindir use the same rules as when building for other platforms. This satisfies #2 and #1 since these files do not need to be directly in $prefix anyway. The handling for --bindir is changed so that it defaults to $prefix on MinGW (maintaining the compatibility with #1), but if the user specifies a specific path when configuring it can also satisfy #2.
